Ghanaian Dealers in Egyptian Oranges Prefer Sourcing Products From Smallholder Farmers to Established Producers Due to Market Price Differences

Some Egyptian orange dealers in Ghana have stated their preference for citrus products from smallholder farmers in Egypt as compared to established farmers due to differences in market prices for the same product. They indicated that prices for products from well-established Egyptian orange farmers are controlled and expensive most of the time compared to what they can secure from the smallholder farmers who also offer the same quality product.
